Improvements Discussion

I think we should stop trying to control prices, no matter how many changes made the price a player is sold is always the price someone is willing to pay for him. So what if there are ridiculous prices in the market? Those players simply wont be sold so just ignore them. I feel all this changes were claimed by managers with that in mind so just hope your efforts have been worthy Gabriel.

Will probably start with a new team next FT season, I’ll let you know if that is harder or easier with changes…

“The transfer budget is the amount of money you have to buy new players. When this value is renewed on turn 13 any money left in the previous season budget is disregarded. When you sell a player a % of the transfer amount is added to your transfer budget. "

So as a buyer, if you have 100M transfer budget left from the previous season, the choice is either to spent it all, or just let the money disappear. It would be logical to bid very highly then, isn’t it?

But on the other side: as a seller, if you sell a player, you risk that all the money from the transfer is disregarded. It’s only good to sell when you think you can buy a player (with the extra money from the transfer) before tick 13, right?

Doesn’t this lead to strange situations? For example that paying 200M with 20k salary can be better than a free transfer with 25k salary?

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it and I believe the remaining transfer budget should have a positive effect in the next season…even if something indirect like giving additional board points to spend in the investment levels.

@Gabriel: Perhaps it’s an idea to keep a % of the money? Otherwise I support the idea of being able to spend some extra board points. This way any div2 team can perhaps improve his points and get a better and improved position to build their team and promote to div1.

Fail to see the point in this financial system other than you controlling the economy 100%… I feel like im being put under administration, for me this is a very sad change in the game, and i hate that i cannot myself decide in which way i wish to spend my money. So all the money i builded up is gone, the stadium i spent 10 seasons to build is gone, and the board is controlling every aspect of my game leaving only a few decisions up to me. Sad…..

Will give this a couple of seasons to see if its as bad as it looks, but i lost a lot of interest for the game here…

Funny how I have the opposite feeling. i was thinking about quiting. Ruby was getting boring. These changes now bring a new dimension to the game and lots of options. I guess we play the game differently.

First off, increasing your stadium was always a waste of money. The amount of money you put it, you could never ever earn back. I think 1 investment was like 20 seasons to earn it back. Also, I never ever had a bankroll at all :). My money was on the pitch. I’ve read more posts on the forum about “omg i lost my 800 mill”. Now it’s pretty cool and all you managed to get 800mill as a bankroll, but money in the bank doesn’t win you prizes, which is what football normally is about :). So personally I don’t understand that, but that could be me…..

I enjoy this game because of the strategic gameplay aspect. Mixing up lineups to make sure stamina is perfect for my games and I use the right guy’s vs the right opponents, this all to be as competative as long as possible in all area’s (league, international, cup)

I’m sorry to see you feel like this. It’s your right to play the game as you like, but personally I don’t quite understand. How you can enjoy yourself for that long playing just CPU opponents is beyond me :)

I hope you can change your mind about the new economy. Perhaps it’s an idea (now that you are back to 0 again) to change teams and experience how it is to play vs players in a league instead of cpu’s? May I suggest division 1 in England :)

One doubt: are the board points distribution different in Fast and Medium ticker? Because I manage a small secound division team in medium ticker wihch received few board points and a not bad team in fast ticker which received like three times the board points the medium ticker received. If that’s a rule, it will only make things worse, as stronger teams will have a much better condition to develop than the smaller ones. As an example, the smaller team couldn’t reach the top rate in any investment topics, but in the medium ticker team reached the top rate in four of the seven investments possible. Something to think about!

Both teams are in Brazil, one in first division (Corinthians, FT) , other in the secound (Botafogo, ST). Second division teams will have a much smaller chance to grow than first division ones. I believe that this way to distribute board points will only make differences larger, should be the opposite way, smaller teams get more points than larger ones, otherwise the small ones won’t ever be able to grow, at least not in an even way.

You can grow, even if you’re low team with these changes. There are still alot of options you can choose from when you’re starting a new team (i’m doing it).

I’ll give a head start:
- You can choose to go full 10 coaching and get players from free transfer or cheap players (nothing different then before)
- You can choose to get 9 coaching and a higher transfer budget so you can buy some older players and let the younger players grow in the mean while
- You can choose for a really high budget and almost buy a complete team
and so on…..

Watch England closelly, i wanne bet that some teams from div1 will compete soon for the title in the premiership.

Vaughn, if I set all my board points to coaching in Medium Ticker it is still impossible to reach level 10, in the other hand, in Fast Ticker, 4 of 7 investments are on level 10. There’s no way for a smaller team to grow as a big one.

That is absolutely not correct sir! My fullham team in fast ticker has just enough to get coaching 10 and a nice 50m of transfer budget. Guess what, i’ve already got some awesome yought players in my team and the changes haven’t been done yet and i started just at the end of the previous season.

And i think u can get easier board points with a small team then with a bigger team, you can suprise win vs a team you shouldn’t normally beat and get awarded for it. Like me for example, i can choose to go full yought players but that wouldn’t get me any more board points for next season. So i’ve got some free transfers players and maybe buy some more from the transfer budget i get during tick 13.

There are always more ways to Rome then 1 and no, it didn’t get build in 1 day.

Truly Felix, and an uncomfortable situation, 400,000 on a player as good as he is, is not worth the cost and is probably something that will happen at other times but an upgrade is done in the system.
In general, I have considered these changes as beneficial game, however like any change will require a period of adaptation not only mine but of all the other managers, but I must admit that in my view; The question of “reset” the cash ended up benefiting of the teams and much, managers who never bother to plan long term and will have money only for the fixed costs and thus, everyone in similar situations to be able to offer these astronomical wages , inflating and discrediting the teams that previously had a cash in “better” and that of a sudden found himself in this new reality.

I also noticed that player in MT. No surprise someone payed that wage ti have a player like that. I would have done the same if my board allowed. My surprise is due to this new manager that joins a team and started selling players like that. They usually are more careful and wait to se how the gamw Works. The real they at least…

About the high wage, in the current model the only impact the high wage will have is consume a large chunk of the wage limit, which is not a good thing if you wanna have a complete squad with depth. In the future the high wage of a player will influence the morale of the other players that may ask higher wages in the renewal.
